Abstract

In the present research, the energy absorption and collapse behaviors of composite-coated corrugation-reinforced cylindrical absorbers were studied. The composite-coating of the cylindrical absorbers was done with carbon filaments using the filament winding method. Plots of force–displacement curves and fundamental indices of the energy absorbers under pseudo-static axial loading were developed experimentally. The energy absorbers were manufactured in two different diameters with four arrangements of the corrugations on the absorber surface, including the longitudinal, semi-longitudinal, transverse, and combined arrangements. The effect of the number of the longitudinal corrugations on the energy absorption and collapse behaviors was further evaluated. It was found that the composite-coating could enhance the energy absorption by up to 44% by retarding the initial peak force. The transverse corrugation could significantly lower the peak force while the longitudinal corrugation added to the strength of the absorber while improving the peak force by up to 20%. The use of combined corrugation could impose effective impacts on the collapse behavior of the coated absorbers and reduced the peak force by as high as 68% with the same energy absorption.
